Jesus Would Have Been A Democrat. If He Ran For Office In The Bible Belt He Could Not Win -

[TheMastersNemesis]

Guess who would be the opponent and would likely win?

[Spider Jerusalem]

1. Jesus would've been a communist or socialist.

[TampaAnimusVortex]

16. I'm pretty sure Jesus would have been an anarchist.

Somehow I don't see the him voting to put any humans in charge of any other humans...

[kestrel91316]

35. He believed in government. "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's."

[TampaAnimusVortex]

38. Actually - that isnt any answer at all...

It's a very clever way of saying that yes, what belongs to Caesar is rightfully his... but without specifying specifically what that is.

It's like me telling you that all the dollars in my pocket now belong to you, and of course me pocket is empty.

[elehhhhna]

19. DLC would crucify him

before he got any momentum

[Zorra]

33. +1

[PowerToThePeople]

30. This is true. He would not be as right wing as today's Democratic party. n/t

[hay rick]

2. Win an election?

In my state if he bought a bag of Skittles he'd be lucky to get home alive.

His opponent would be Rick Scott- not one of those biblical pikers like Judas, Herod, or even Beelzebubba.

[Niceguy1]

3. he would

Have run against both parties equally.

[HooptieWagon]

4. He wouldn't belong to any party controlled by Wall St.

That eliminates Ds and Rs.

[Niceguy1]

5. and I doubt

He would be pro choice

[hay rick]

7. I always took Jesus for a pro-life Bible-thumper.

[d_r]

9. the dude is pro-choice

[Nevernose]

13. I don't know. He was Jewish

And the mainstream Jewish belief is that life doesn't begin until birth.

[elehhhhna]

20. he would be pro stopjudging

and proprivacy though.

[Egalitarian Thug]

39. Why would you doubt that? He never said anything at all that could be interpreted that way. n/t

[Niceguy1]

41. nor is there any indication

That he would support it.

[Egalitarian Thug]

43. What a perfectly religious reply.

"Since it cannot be proven beyond doubt that he wouldn't approve (although even a casual reading of what he supposedly did say strongly indicates that he would side with women on this issue), he must therefore disapprove. Because somebody said so.

But, despite the fact that no one has yet, despite 2 millennia of study and hundreds of bogus attempts, been able to provide one scintilla of evidence that such an individual ever existed at all, the rest of the world is supposed to simply accept that he did.

"But, to demand proof denies faith". Do any of you ever read/listen to what you say? And if you do, do the relatively sane among you really wonder how so many of you are completely enthralled with the most idiotic ideas (saddled dinosaurs roaming the flat earth 6.000 years ago) ever imagined?

[MADem]

6. He would have to convert to Christianity to satisfy that voter bloc....! nt

[elehhhhna]

21. !

DUZY

[JI7]

8. he looks like a terrorist

[tridim]

26. Worse, a terrorist hippy.

[mick063]

10. He would divinely win in a rout

He would bring plague to Wall Street

Smite the pretenders that falsely represent him.

Command all to throw their guns into the Sea.

Cleanse the feet of Detroit.

Etc.

Etc.


But more likely, declare that the world needs a fresh start and summon a great flood to rid the earth of burdensome population and destructive technology.

In either case, I'm voting for him and I'm agnostic.

[Aristus]

11. This is the ad the Republicans would have run:

"Jesus Christ.

This is the man who took lunch away from a hard-working shepherd boy, and gave it away to five thousand homeless layabouts.

The Temple Of Solomon Small Business Association calls him: The Most Dangerous Man In Jerusalem!

And Jesus Christ is soft on adultery.

This November, don't vote for a man who keep raucous wedding parties well-supplied with alcohol.

Don't vote for a man who associates with tax collectors, prostitutes, and known terrorists.

Jesus Christ: BAD for America!..."

[left is right]

14. I loved this

[Safetykitten]

12. Well, maybe. He would of been told that working at Amazon is what he needed to do...

by people here.

[qualitybeatsquantity]

15. If one believes the myths then Jesus was not White there for unless he was a loon like Allen West

he would not be in the GOP Today.

Doubt he would be a Dem either, like others have posted most likely a Socialist.

[meow2u3]

17. Caiphas would have been the Republican candidate

The Religious Right would have loved him. He would not only won by a landslide, he would have framed Jesus on murder charges and had him executed.

[elehhhhna]

22. Salome Palin for VeePee

[meow2u3]

24. DUzy!

[JHB]

18. Please allow me to introduce myself, y'all...

[flvegan]

23. That's okay, the DU collective wouldn't have supported Him either.

Against the war(s) and NOT a DLC 1%er membership card? Not here, no thanks.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. And, 3rd Way Democrats would be trying to get a "not as bad" candidate to replace him.

[ZombieHorde]

27. According to my interpretation of the Christian Holy Bible,

Jesus would be very, very unhappy with the Democratic Party. The two major parties in the US are anti-Christ, in my opinion.

[FreeJoe]

28. Wrong!

You are forgetting his magic powers. The dude could walk on water, feed multitudes on the equivalent of a happy meal, and shrug off death. I'm sure He could use some sort of electoral power in the Bible Belt if it was part of His plan. Besides, His Dad is loaded.

[NoOneMan]

29. I highly doubt Jesus would of registered with any political party

But its all conjecture. In any case, it was a different time, and perhaps these days Jesus would of been an iPhone obsessed sexter.

In modern times--being the same dude--maybe he would of joined the peace corp or organized a religous Occupy movement.

[MrMickeysMom]

31. Who would Satin have been?

I mean... since we're comparing these things, you only owe it to Satin...

[ladjf]

32. Neither could Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. Both are way to liberal and objective. nt

[gulliver]

34. Republicanism has a lot in common with devil worship.

One of these days Christian Republicans are going to wake up to find themselves drinking a bowl of blood in a room packed with chanting people in robes. They'll ask themselves, "How did I get here?"

[Yo_Mama]

36. If he turned the water into beer,

believe me, HE WOULD WIN.

[NuclearDem]

37. No he wouldn't have.

This "God/Jesus is on our side" crap has been a cancer slowly killing Western democracy for centuries. Let's not keep playing it.

[burnodo]

40. This atheist agrees

Jesus would not have been a member of a political party much less become a politician

[NightWatcher]

42. He would be in jail for feeding people, helping the sick... without a license or permit

[AppleBottom]

44. Jesus would not have joined either political parties.

He probably would have thrown over their tables at the temple.

[XemaSab]

45. He would establish a theocracy based on mosaic law

and he would totally win in the south.
